Hello there, I'm Sam. I've been playing the Kalimba since 5/22/2020 and this is my progress and journey. I wanted to share the melodies this enchanting instrument makes through covers of my favorite songs. Feel free to comment any song requests you would like me to do in the future!
Don't forget to leave a comment to let me know if you enjoyed this video, it really means a lot to me! :)

Nice, I have a tuning hammer when I bought mine and I thought that it was to play and I was so confused 😂

Three weeks later, I'm doing the same! ^^ I got a little 8 key one for the price of a coffee, now I've ordered a more substantial one and reading up

how's the playing going lads

Same here! Were you able to pick it up quickly? Was it easier to play rhan you thought or harder?

...YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HAMMER THOSE!? I unscrewed the bar and slid them all up and down and screwed it on again over and over and OVER!!! D': It was even worse when I accidentally knocked the body of the Kalimba, and ALL THE NOTES SHIFTED.

Lol me too

[@natcreel4624]

The thing that discourages me from playing is figuring out how to read and play typical sheet music with it (not with numbers or letters but with notes that most instruments use). There's so many songs I want to learn but don't know how to use typical music notation with it. I just get confused easily and don't know much about music.

[@alex_5891]

Really? Most of Kalimba covers here on youtube are with tab sheets like numbers.

[@ContagiousSponge]

The Kalimba I bought had stickers with them that I could put on the notes. It made learning to play songs way easier

[@meadowsz5390]

I wish I could save shorts to Playlists. This is a great motivation to try tuning my kalimba again.

[@zhiensvlog5984]

You can, just press the 3 dots and it should show "save to playlist*

[@rhythmsofhearts]

I use the app to play kalimba because I cant afford some good quality instrument but I love the sound of kalimba its so relaxing ❤

[@sythe07]

Your voice is so soothing 😌😌😌

[@jiahmariz3767]

thank you for this tip i really need it for my kalimba especially the high notes 🤦🏻

[@joscelynpifari1443]

[@Kheops.]

I only watched one of your kalimba videos before this came up on my feed. Still trying to wrap my mind around how good your voice sounds to my ears... There's a very sweet soul behind that voice. 💚

[@user-bt7tj9bw1d]

My main problem is to find a perfect force I need to use. I either overdo it or can't move at all :'(

[@rayn5832]

Legit thought the hammer was for hitting notes🤣

[@FenTheWolf]

I think tuning my Kalimba was actually a lot of fun when I first got it! Just wanna put this here in case anyone's scared of it. I think it's pretty neat :D

[@OtakuAfterHours]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us!

[@sunnyday7135]

Yeah, it's possible and rather easy, but I hate it when I have to tune my kalimba every time I want to play a particular song. Sometimes it takes 3 minutes or so because there are 17 keys and sometimes you have to tune most of them... So I prefer putting the songs into a C major or A minor to match the kalimba tuning (tho it's kinda boring to have all the songs in the same key)

[@Lun4V]

Finally I know what the hammer for- Thank you for showing how to tuning the kalimba :D

[@daishinkan_03]

It is precisely for this reason that I play pieces where there is no need to tune it

[@lovepeace1788]

I just got mine in and I already have you are my sunshine memorized. I am obssessed. Its so soothing to play it. Every other time I jave tried to learn to play an instrument I have gotten frustrated and quit. I love my kalimba though. To anyone who has bad anxiety I would highly recommend

[@MelaniaArt]

Very helpful, I already bought Kalimba yesterday, this video help me a lot, thank you much for sharing, Stay blessed

[@ButterKing-28]

I am thinking of buying one and I am extremely surprised that that is how you tune it (I thought you would have to loosen the "bridge" or something.

[@dinahmite6038]

I tuned mine my sisters and my da's cause neither wanted to learn how too 😅

[@gelancasalinas7809]

Im getting my kalimba these Friday yuhooo😊 skl

[@isielvwelcome3222]

Thx, I'm just getting a kilimba on my birthday😄😄

[@jamesrichards2720]

Tuning is true for the guitar, too. I couldn't tune my guitar right for my guitar class, so I dropped out of guitar class 4 weeks in so i never learned basic guitar. 🙃

[@arriannaniv]

I thought it sounded good before I tuned it, but after and it’s like no matter what I play it’s gorgeous. Can just flick random keys and it’s so satisfying. But yes.. took me like 30 minutes to tune it properly. The higher ones were the most finicky. I felt so accomplished if I tuned one correctly the first try though. The E at the end was hard. Kept trying to register as an F till I put the kalimba right over the microphone

[@haloish547]

Your voice sounds like that water thing from super Mario sunshine… it’s so soothing lol

[@Nnif_Boots47]

This is just like tuning my saxaphone except it's moving the mouth piece up or down

[@amberwheeler6989]

This helped me.Thank you❤

[@Jessk1rbym.]

I downloaded an app for this and my kalimba sounds so bad, I can’t even play the songs that I already learned :(

Thank u now i know how to tune my kalimba..just bough recently. And theres a hammer along with it

This is so true, I stopped playing my kalimba because I didn’t know how to tune it and so I just forgot about it. I just started playing it again today and i realized that I lost my tuning hammer.

[@irbomusic]

It usually takes more than a minute to tune the whole kalimba

[@chelli_idk]

Yeah, she cut out the rest of the tuning process to make the video short enough

[@waluigihentailover6926]

The video is supposed to be less than a minute, not the tuning process.

I am often discourage because in Germany the kalimba is very unknown and i need Notation because i learned Other Instruments, i Play with Piano Notation. I cant ready kalimba Tabs but i can Not find many kalimba notations only notations with only the melody and that is too easy. I want to play music for 34 key kalimba for more advanced Players But i cant find any. Now i Downloaded Crescendo to write my own kalimba notes but i dont have that much time.

[@asyakite7839]

Hey! Thank you so much for the reels😊 Can I also change the tuning of my kalimba? For example, mine comes in the G tuning but I would like to have a lower sound, can I tune it to other note by using the tuning app?
